RISDiurnal Variations in Cloud Frequency over the Gulf Stream Locale
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper documents evidence of a diurnal variability in cloudiness over the Gulf Stream locale. The Gulf Stream locale (GSL) is defined as the region covering 31°?38°N, 82°?71°W. The Gulf Stream, which occupies a portion ...
Cloudiness and Its Relationship to Saturation Pressure Differences during a Developing East Coast Winter Storm
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Cloudiness derived from surface observations and the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite VISSR (Visible?Infrared Spin Scan Radiometer) Atmospheric Sounder (VAS) are compared with thermodynamic properties ...
A Comparison of Saturation Pressure Differences and GOES VAS Estimates to Surface Observations of Cloudiness
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Saturation pressure differences, a measure of parcel saturation, are calculated from upper-air soundings and compared to manual surface observations of cloudiness. The saturation pressure level p* (more commonly referred ...
Special Sensor Microwave/Imager (SSM/I) Observations of Hurricane Hugo (1989)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Data from the Special Sensor Microwave/Imager (SSM/I) on board a Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) spacecraft have been used to study the precipitation patterns associated with Hurricane Hugo (1989). Results ...
SSM/I Observations of ERICA IOP 4 Marine Cyclone: A Comparison with In Situ Observations and Model Simulation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Fields of rainfall rates, integrated water vapor (IWV), and marine surface wind speeds retrieved by the Special Sensor Microwave/Imager (SSM/I) during the intensive observational period 4 on 4 January 1989 of the Experiment ...
